got pulled over
Pulled over in Burbank at midnight...
Cop: Pulled you over because your exhaust is modified. It is illegal to modify your exhaust. Me: Huh? Cop: Have a good night sir. No ticket, or even a real warning! He heard the car revving in a parking lot with some friends after work. I think he was just checking the thing out!

It's like your hot milf boss calling you into her office. You get bitch slapped, but is it really a bad thing?

I got pulled over by NYPD somewhere in Brooklyn in evening... 2 officers just pulled over next to me and said,- How do you like the car?
![]() .... and we started chatting about M3, they wanted to know everything... we chatted for a little while, they seemed to really like the M3... one of them said he had BMW 330... then they wished me good luck and good night and left... I forgot to tell them about m3post.com though

Another thread proving the M3 is a dick magnet.

And...got away free. This is the second time I have been pulled over, the first during the first week I had the car, for no plates. That guy didn't even ask for a license.
So, is it technically illegal to put on a different exhaust? I was under the assumption that it is when I got the Tubi, but then there are so many of us and other car drivers, including those coffee can civics, that do this sort of thing. Heaven forbid we want to make our cars look, perform, and sound better. I guess there wasn't enough gang activity last night to keep the Burbank police busy.

Yes, in most states it is illegal if the sound is above 95db. Most cops cant prove this without measuring the sound but they sure can hassle you and ticket you if they please. Im sure most cases get thrown out though. Some cars can be illegally too low as well. ![]() http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc27151.htm

^^^That's exactly what I was going to say. If it was illegal to modify your exhaust then what happens if it rusts through and falls off? Can't replace it because then it's modified so I guess you'd have to buy a new car??? And what about all the Harleys running around louder than ANY car I've ever heard? Ever seen a Harley rider pulled over for a loud exhaust?

bogus municipal rule, I'm definitively appealing that. BTW, my car is completely stock, I would have loved to see his face with a full gintani race exhaust. |
